As someone who has been following the work of your predecessors at the Tribune (since Robert Gammon, then Paul Roysinsky, then Grace Rauh, then Alex Katz, or something along those lines) you are doing a really, really great job by providing such an important, and consistent service to the community.

Have a very Merry Christmas – I loved the article in today’s Oakland Tribune about the students who completed their units but did not pass the exit exam at the end of their senior year. Then they worked, studied and ultimately passed the exam and graduated.

This is the kind of students I am proud to call Oakland students. Those who may have needed extra time, and extra help, but stuck with the job. They are true graduates. They did not just mark 4 years of showing up. They learned; they learned their lessons, both book work and real life lessons. Congratualtions to one and all!

My family is also heading out of town, but I’ll be back next Wednesday, and looking forward to seeing what our student-bloggers have to say.
